ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), affiliated with the Department of Municipalities and Transport, has issued a notice stressing that all entities offering valet parking services must obtain official licences from the ITC before commencing any activity within the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
It clarified that providing such services without a licence, or misusing an existing one, constitutes a violation of the approved laws and regulations, and subjects offenders to legal accountability.
The ITC explained that its field inspection teams continue to carry out regular monitoring campaigns at service locations to ensure compliance with regulations, and to maintain a safe and organised environment that reflects Abu Dhabi’s quality of life standards.
The ITC also urged relevant entities such as hotels, shopping centres, and service providers to review their legal standing, and verify the validity of their permits in line with the approved requirements.
The authority also urged motorists to choose licensed providers when using valet parking services in order to safeguard their rights, and ensure the safety of their vehicles.
The ITC confirmed that any reports of illegal practices or violations related to valet parking services will be received through the official communication channels, with the aim of enhancing oversight, regulating service provision, and preserving the emirate’s civilised image.
This ITC directive is part of its continued efforts to improve service quality, reinforce adherence to legislation, and ensure a safe, integrated mobility system that supports smoother traffic flow and contributes to enhancing overall quality of life.
